Secondary hard drive

[firenice03]

You can attach directly within the PC or by some sort of USB interface - Linux Lite will mount accordingly and you'll be able to access your files just as you would on Windows with most file types being accessible...
If going USB you have the option to unmount/eject directly from Thunar/File Manager.

I've used the 3 USB options I've posted below.. Just food for thought  ;D
A Cable -- A Dock -- An Enclosure

A couple things to be mindful of... Which will be determined by how you use it and the alike..
Remember hard drives do heat up and they don't like to be jarred about (especially while spinning)..

This is just my take...

• Cable is probably least expensive and great for quick connects or short term connections.
  
• I like the dock for longer term with the ability to change drives, more stable than the cable.
  
• An Enclosure would be best for portability and extended use; most have heat dissipation features, changing drives can be done but not as easy as the above...

Stability increases, the Dock has a base, the Enclosure has rubber feet or lays flat and the most stable as compared to a drive laying with cable attached..
